[Duke_Monster]

oh i'll be getting the fr plate one. cant wait.already paid my downpayment.juz awiting for bloody tp nxt mth... is tht yr bike in the avatar? nice paintwork

 

btw..can someone enlighten me on the diff models of mitos? eg:mito 5,6,7?? i noe mito 5 r e older ones?

 

i noe e older models pre-2000 ones has 7 gears(tho my friends says e 7th gear is quite useless.tht's y e newer ones changed to 6 gears)....

[Guest Jay_R1]

bro i used to ride a MITO the latest model..dunno if ya guys have seen it b4...metallic blue with 'real men ride motor bike' sticker at the side..

 

as far as i'm concerned MITO is among the fastest 2B bike around....the performance is there but so is the cost of maintainence. u need to come out with a bit of $$$ to see the performance. plus its also a confirm head turner...

 

one thing u shud take note of it that the re-sale value drop like crazy... very few shops willing to take them in or trade in... even if they do trde they jack up the other bike. best is if ya sell to people. i bought mine 1st hand at 12k and sold it at 6k after 3 years.. fs plate

[Sols]

woohoo... i think the new batch of mito is in singapore already... was at lavendar today and i think i saw it in the ducati singapore shop window... lol...

 

NEW BATCH

[myxilplix]

Hohoho a new problem has cropped up. The battery isn't getting recharged properly, so every morning there's no juice to start the bike and i gotta push-start. After i ride to work there's usually enough juice to start the bike after work. Called excel today they said it might be the battery, recharging coil or rectifier. I wonder how much it's gonna cost me heh. Anyone got any advice?

coil quite ex ar.. mine oso the same prob.. mito really makan batt man.. my advise is to change to wet cell? those using batt water.. no nid 2 charge.. can last almost a yr b4 topping up..

[Duke_Monster]

desmo: the mito i gettin the old batt spoilt...so shop boss said he'll install a new batt for me(it's on the showrm w/o batt)...since u mentioned abt the wet cell thingy...and problems with the dry cell...should i ask the boss to juz install a wet cell? wads the disadvantages of using wet cell? sorrie,this would be my first bike so not so knowlegable..

hmm.. wet cell doesnt nid 2 charge.. thus once u got a new 1.. open it n use till it dies.. whereas for dry cell.. u nid 2 charge it regularly @ motorshop or high rev the bike of min. 8k rpm to have it charged.. dry cell no nid 2 maintain if ur rectifier n charging coil r working properly.. tts the advantage of dry cell.. its disadvantage is that if either ur rectifier or coil is not function.. the cell wont charge no matter how highly u rev the bike.. n a fully charged dry cell onli last mi 4 days? mito has much probs with wiring n electical stuff.. n the headlight will be draining all the batt.. i dun use any light in the day.. evening onwards den i on the low beam.. n my wet cell i bought lasted mi 9 mths till it got totally flat.. so i recommend wet cell..

[Duke_Monster]

whao...experienced mito rider.great to have a mito lao jiao fr the boards...haha. thks for e detailed explanation..i'm more than convinced tht i'll def. ask the boss/mech to drop a wet cell into my mito when i sign the papers.. when e wet cell is installed.it directlky replces the dry cell(dry cell removed totally)...or does it juz act as a backup if the dry cell screws up?

wet cell can be recharged as well, when you rev high or take out and charge... but be careful, cos if you totally drain a wet cell till totally no power, you must do deep cycle charging... err.. charge long long... or maybe get new wet cell...

 

also, must make sure enough batt water... and if it spills out of the batt, must wipe it off... cos it is slightly acidic... will spoil your fairings... you can change the vent cap to the aircraft type, the weighted one... then if you drop your bike or something, the vent will close.. then the batt water won't spill out... hehe..

 

study too much liao... hahaha...
